The White House.

The White House covers about
one third of an acre, and it has cost
up to this time about 81, 100000. 1t
is modelled after n castle in Dublin,
and the architect, who was South
Carolina man named Hoban, got
$500 for drawing the plans. When
it was first built, away back in the
nineties, it cost 100000, but the
British burned out its insides, and
its cost has since added to that sum
about 81, 100000. Init all the pres
idents since Washington have lived,
and each has added to its beauties
and its expense. John Quincy
Adams brought the first biiliad table
which was used in it. But in John
Adams time it was only half fur
nished and Abigail Adams used to
dry her clothes in the big east room.
Year by year. however. the furnish
ing has gone one, until now it is a
sort Of museum of art and beauty.

GET on.the Top Shelf.


An inventor whose invention is OF
practical benefit, and isused in almost
every printing office in the United
States, in visiting our office recently
made the following remark in course
of conversation "There is always
room on the top shelf" The mean
inc he intended to convey was that
brains and experience properly di-
rected would always find room for
action. Somebody wants the young
man Of talent who wisely uses it !;
somebody wants trained experience !;
somebody wants men of nerve. ener-
gy and zeal.
There is always market for men
who oravitate toward the top. In this
age of active work and competition,
talent is not hid in napkin, as Of
old it is soon discovered, brought
out. utilized and made to do its full
share in this woodworking world.
Who are the men, that climb to
the top? Are they of the dull, stu
pid sort, lazy, improvident, careless.
No, no; for these there is no top
most round of fame, of wealth, of
honor The men who climb the hill
Of difficulty are those of action, tai
ent, skill, experience, work. Men
who march with firm tread and on
ward look determined to win victory.
They are patient also, not discour-
aged by defeats nor cast down by
disasters, but who gathering up their
strength and energies, push on with
resolute step.
Workers are the winners because
Nature and Providence alike are on
their side. Nature unfolds her Sc
crets to those who desire and labor
to explore her hidden mysteries and
Providence is always on the side of
those who try to help themselves.
Waiting for a bridge to carry us
over difficulties is lost opportunity
Span the chasm by a bridge of your
own strong will and efforts and the
obstacles quickly disappear Self
made men are self-reliant. They
never ask others to do for them
what they can do for themselves.
This strong element in their charac-
ter pushes them to the front in COM
merce and in all the various pur-
suits of life.
Room on the top ever and always
for those who have the spirit and
ambition to get there.

The Selfishness of Men.

The poor growing poorer, and the
very poor living in a condition of
dirt, squalor, restitution, immortality
and such physical indecency as is a
matter of necessity-what is the
cause? Among Gods creatures in
the nineteenth century .illumined by
the blazing sun of civilization, where
men are worth from $4,000, 900 to
$2O,0O0,000, giving parties which
cost $4,000 at a clip, driving horses
that bring in open market from $685.
600 to $50, 900, gambling with a sue
cess that ranges from a hundred
thousand to millions of dollars at a
time-what is the cause of all this
trouble a? There are many causes,
but the selfshness of men would
seem to be about as near the main
spring as mortal ever can go. Indi-
vidual selfshness is pretty bad, but
corporate selfshness takes the bun.
We are in the grasp of heartless
merciless, audacious corporations.

then by an effort succeed in getting
as far as the hall, when a new

opened leave taking begins and every
